That can be handy sometimes, but if I expect to install it more than once, I'll
just download an ISO and write it to a USB drive or CD/DVD.  And although an
internet connection is usually reliable, sometimes it will hiccup in the middle
of an install and get disconnected, which can be frustrating..
